At a dinner party in the wilds of New Jersey, George and her husband talk with a fellow married couple about a younger acquaintance—a polyamorous woman who also hunts her own meat. Fascinated, they invite this mysterious woman and her two live-in boyfriends to a New Year’s Eve party which alters the course of their lives. How to Transcend a Happy Marriage explores the boundaries of monogamy and the limits of friendship. This work asks what happens when parents let their wild sides come out of hibernation.
